For more information on your refrigerator’s operation, visit
www.GEAppliances.com or call 800.GECARES (800.432.2737).
In Canada visit GEAppliances.ca or call 800.561.3344. This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs. NOTE: Repairs must be per-formed by a qualified Service Professional. Replace all parts and panels before operating. Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is abso-lutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts. To prevent suffocation and entrapment haz-ards to children, Remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator before dis-posing of it or discontinuing its use. Do not store or use gasoline or other flamma-ble vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Power to the refrigerator cannot be discon-nected by any setting on the control panel, refrigerator must be unplugged to remove power. Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door handles or the shelves in the refrig-erator. They could seriously injure themselves. In freezers with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mecha-nism while the refrigerator is plugged in. Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden tem-perature changes or impact, such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks. Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area. Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces. Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.) This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER”, “WARNING”, or “CAUTION”. These words are defined as:Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your
refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:
REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING WARNING DANGER CAUTIONGEAppliances.com
WARNING Explosion Hazard.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
CONNECTING ELECTRICITY INSTALLATION WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, fire, or electrical
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encoun-tered, it is your personal responsibility and obliga-tion to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an adapter.The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
WARNING Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
Remove refrigerator door prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result in
child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents. Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator: Take off the fresh food and freezer doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. Refrigerants All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal about what to do. READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50°F (10°C)
because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
Do not install it closer than 5”(13 cm) from range.
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation and proper air circulation.
Adjustable legs at the front corners of the refrigerator should
be set so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and
the front is raised just enough that the door closes easily when
opened about halfway.
